The outcommand errors just indicate that the ARM is no longer
responding (it crashed) but do not tell you why. 
If it always crashes when the CAM is inserted it is of course obvious 
that one bug is somewhere in the CI code. This could be something as simple
as an overflow when parsing a new previously unknown CIS or something more
complicated. I'll have to see what happens when I get such a CAM.

The crashes you have can be related to other bugs in the ARM application.


So far I read that the following CAMs are causing instant crashes:

Aston version 1.04 and 1.05
Irdeto version 4.7

Can somebody confirm this?
What about other CAMs like the new EuroCIs?
